Partly to reassure the user that they got what they asked for, and
partly so that's a clue for us in the logs when we get bug reports.
This involved repurposing platform_psftp_post_option_setup() (no longer
used since e22120fe) as platform_psftp_pre_conn_setup(), and moving it
to after logging is set up.
Protecting our processes from outside interference need not be limited
to just PuTTY: there's no reason why the other SSH-speaking tools
shouldn't have the same treatment (PSFTP, PSCP, Plink), and PuTTYgen
and Pageant which handle private key material.
I noticed that Unix PSCP was unwantedly renaming downloaded files
which had a backslash in their names, because pscp.c's stripslashes()
treated \ as a path component separator, since it hadn't been modified
since PSCP ran on Windows only.
It also turns out that pscp.c, psftp.c and winsftp.c all had a
stripslashes(), and they didn't all have quite the same prototype. So
now there's one in winsftp.c and one in uxsftp.c, with appropriate
OS-dependent behaviour, and the ones in pscp.c and psftp.c are gone.
Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development,
I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the
whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of
const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now
goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as
close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to
occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not
having the right constness).
Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types:
- the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly
dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved.
- I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param()
const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case
where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least
slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily
dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function
- I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could
pass const string literals in to lookup functions.
- stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
I think I have to consider this to be a separate but related change to
the wishlist item 'pscp-filemodes'; that was written before the Unix
port existed, and referred to the ability to configure the permissions
used for files copied from Windows to Unix - which is still not done.

we set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 on the compiler command line (via mkfiles.pl),
and on Windows we use SetFilePointer and GetFileSize to cope with 64-bit sizes
where possible. Not tested on Win9x.

timing shakeup: just running `psftp' caused the net/stdin select
loop (on both Unix and Windows) to get confused at the lack of any
network connection and give up immediately. Should now be fixed.

which pretty much any module can call to request a call-back in the
future. So terminal.c can do its own handling of blinking, visual
bells and deferred screen updates, without having to rely on
term_update() being called 50 times a second (fixes: pterm-timer);
and ssh.c and telnet.c both invoke a new module pinger.c which takes
care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).

[this svn revision also touched putty-wishlist]
platform-independent source file. Haven't yet added the extra
abstraction routines to uxsftp.c to create a Unix PSCP port, but it
shouldn't take long.
Also in this checkin, a change of semantics in platform_default_s():
now strings returned from it are expected to be dynamically allocated.

... here's a Unix port of PSFTP. Woo. (Oddly PSCP looks to be
somewhat harder; there's more Windows code interleaved than there
was in PSFTP.)
